A while back I used to see an occasional question about an upcoming version
of perl, version 6 I believe. Is this still in the works or have I missed
something? Is version 6 expected to include a perl compiler?

TIA,

Phil

You can try out Perl6 right now with Fedora 8 or 9 -
don't remember which. What you will notice right away
is that perl depends on Java!

Its a free download and it should be immediately
usable.

Perl 6 depends on Java??

What does it mean? Will Perl become a Java extension/module instead of =
continue to be an independent language/compiler/interpreter?? Please =
tell me i'm getting it wrong!
